The Alcorn School District will receive two $50,000 grants this year to help fund the hiring of two additional nurses in the district.
The state funded school nurs-
ing grant, written by district employee Chrystee Hamilton, will pay the salary, fringe ben-efi ts and educational resources for two new nurses.
“Thanks to Chrystee’s hard work securing this grant, we will be able to hire more nurses
for the district, which is some-thing we have needed to do for some time,” said Superinten-dent Gina Rogers Smith. “The grant will cover the expenses for fi ve years.”
With the addition of two new nurses, the district will be able
to keep one nurse at the Kos-suth campus full-time, while sharing one nurse between the Alcorn Central and Glendale campus and sharing a third nurse between the Biggersville and Rienzi campus.
Previously only one nurse
covered all schools in the dis-trict.
Hamilton said 25 percent of the nurses time will be spent on instruction in the classroom.

Baldwyn and 47-year-old Jo-seph Moore of Shannon.
Prentiss sheriff’s deputies and Booneville police say nearly $36,000 in cash and checks were taken from a safe in the tax collector’s offi ce.
The suspects were booked Friday at the Prentiss County jail. It was not immediately clear whether they have at-torneys.

The Corinth Board of Alder-men considered the renaming of Dunlap Street last week.
The street runs less than two blocks from Cass Street to Martin Luther King Jr., Drive between Taco Bell and Burger King. Dunlap Street would become Droke Road and run from Cass Street to Harper Road.
“We just need to make sure that changing the name won’t affect any mailing addresses,” said Ward 2 Alderman Ben Albarracin.
The board voted to table the discussion to allow more re-search to be completed.
In other business:■ The board heard from Di-
rector of Community Devel-opment and Planning Dave Huwe regarding the removal of two trees on city owned land at the Verandah-Curlee House.
“Both of the trees are in re-ally bad shape,” said Huwe. “One tree is located in front of the house, while the sec-ond is on the north side of the house.”
The board approved the removal of the trees with the understanding the Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission would replant two trees on the

A picture is worth a thou-sand words.
A great photograph is worth more in the 13th An-nual Crossroads Museum Photo Contest.
Some new twists have been added to the contest this year as area photographers get a chance to earn cash and priz-es while benefi ting the mu-
seum in downtown Corinth.“The whole thing has been
revamped,” said museum board member Bill Avery. “We have come up with some new wrinkles to keep the in-terest up.”
The youth category is new to the contest this year. Youngsters – age 17 and un-der – can enter photos taken with either a camera or cell phone in the division.
“A lot of kids don’t have a camera, but they have a good photo they have taken with their phone,” said Crossroads Museum Director Brandy Steen. “The new category nows gives them a chance to enter that photo.”
Youngsters are not limited to the youth division, accord-ing to Steen.

Today in
history
Today is Sunday, Au-gust 10, the 222nd day of 2014. There are 143 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On August 10, 1944, during World War II, Amer-ican forces overcame remaining Japanese re-sistance on Guam.
On this date:
In 1792, during the French Revolution, mobs in Paris attacked the Tuileries Palace, where King Louis XVI resided. (The king was later ar-rested, put on trial for treason, and executed.)
In 1821, Missouri be-came the 24th state.
In 1846, President James K. Polk signed a measure establishing the Smithsonian Institution.
In 1874, Herbert Clark Hoover, the 31st president of the United States, was born in West Branch, Iowa.
In 1913, the Treaty of Bucharest was signed, ending the Second Bal-kan War.
In 1921, Franklin D. Roosevelt was stricken with polio at his summer home on the Canadian island of Campobello.
In 1949, the National Military Establishment was renamed the Depart-ment of Defense.
In 1962, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum was dedicated in West Branch, Iowa, on the 88th birthday of the former president, who attended the ceremony along with former Presi-dent Harry S. Truman.
In 1969, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were murdered in their Los An-geles home by members of Charles Manson’s cult, one day after ac-tress Sharon Tate and four other people had been slain.
In 1977, postal em-ployee David Berkowitz was arrested in Yonkers, New York, accused of being “Son of Sam,” the gunman responsible for six slayings and seven woundings. (Berkowitz is serving six consecu-tive 25-years-to-life sen-tences.)
In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed a measure providing $20,000 payments to still-living Japanese-Americans who’d been interned by their govern-ment during World War II.
In 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in as the second female justice on the U.S. Su-preme Court.
Ten years ago:
President George W. Bush chose Porter Goss, a Republican congress-man and one-time spy, to lead the CIA. A boat carrying Dominican mi-grants seeking a better life in Puerto Rico drifted back to almost the same spot where the voyage began nearly two weeks earlier; at least 55 of the 86 people on board had died. The 20-year-old woman who’d accused Kobe Bryant of rape filed a federal lawsuit in Den-ver against the NBA star. (The criminal charge was later dropped; the lawsuit was settled out of court, terms undis-closed.) Barry Bonds became the first player in major league history to hit 30 home runs in 13 consecutive seasons.
The Alcorn School District recently released school hand-books for the 2014-15 school year. The district also made a minor change to its drug testing policy.
The school board approved all major handbooks, including the
gifted handbook, special educa-tion handbook, grade K-4 hand-book, grade 5-8 handbook, high school handbook and the teach-er handbook.
The district’s random drug testing policy got a few upgrades, as well.
“We’ve added mandatory counseling,” said Superinten-
dent Gina Rogers Smith. “It will now be required after each of-fense.”
The policy states that after the fi rst offense, the student will be suspended for 30 days. With a second offense, the student will receive a 60-day suspension, third offense will receive a one year suspension and a fourth
offense will receive a indefi nite suspension from school and school events.
The policy applies to all stu-dents who participate in school activities including athletics. Students and parents must agree to the new drug policy before be-ing allowed to participate in any activity.

Curious students and their families will have the opportu-nity to learn more about The Mississippi School for Math-ematics and Science as a MSMS representative makes a visit to the Corinth Public Library on Tuesday, Aug. 12.
The informational meeting will be held from 5-7 p.m.
According to MSMS Direc-tor for Admissions and School Advancement Rick Smith, the school is holding the event to en-
sure that every capable student in the state is aware of MSMS and knows they have a right as a citizen to pursue.
“The most remarkable thing about MSMS, is at the end of the day, it is a public school,” said Admissions Counselor Spike Harris of MSMS. “We are home to students from every single background imaginable, who share a passion for learning and want to be as successful as they possible can.”
MSMS is the state’s only pub-lic, residential high school de-
signed specifi cally for the aca-demically talented. Founded in 1987, the school is located on the campus of the Mississippi Uni-versity for Women in Columbus.
It is listed regularly in the top one-percent of high schools in the nation.
The 110 MSMS graduates of the class of 2014 were offered more than $20 million in schol-arships to universities all across America, including Stearman McCalister of Corinth.
Consisting of students from all corners of the Magnolia Sate,
MSMS scholars will devote their two fi nal years of high school to living, working and playing with other bright and motivated stu-dents.
Those interested in applying for the school must do so dur-ing their sophomore year of high school. Applications are current-ly being accepted for the MSMS Class of 2017.
(For more information about the school visit www.themsms.org, fi nd them on Facebook, or follow them at @the_msms.)
Academic school hosts local meeting at libraryBY KIMBERLY [email protected]
JACKSON — Attorneys for death row inmate Charles Ray Crawford are arguing the man’s 1994 rape conviction should be tossed out because he received poor legal representation at his trial. The re-sult of the appeal could mean the difference between life and death for Crawford.
According to his lawyers, Craw-ford could get off death row — where he now resides on an unre-lated murder conviction — if his appeal in the rape case is success-ful.
Crawford was arrested in 1992 for rape and aggravated assault. While free on bond, he was ar-rested for murder in the death of a young woman. He was convicted of rape in 1993 and sentenced to 66 years in prison. He was then found guilty of murder in 1994 and sen-tenced to death. Prosecutors had argued for the death penalty, say-ing it was justifi ed because Craw-
ford’s past as a rapist constituted an aggravated factor and called for the harshest of punishments.
Crawford is now appealing the rape conviction. His lawyers say he received inadequate counsel during the trial.
The state Supreme Court says it will not set an execution date for the murder until the rape appeal is resolved. Crawford’s lawyers fi led a brief in the appeal July 25.
Attorney General Jim Hood has 30 days from that date to re-spond.
If the Supreme Court upholds Crawford’s conviction in the earli-er case, Hood could again petition the court to set an execution date. Crawford’s lawyers argue that the death sentence would be negated if the conviction is reversed.
Few details of the rape convic-tion are discussed in earlier briefs in the death penalty case.
Crawford, now 48, was sen-tenced to death in the killing of Northeast Mississippi Community
College student Kristy Ray in rural Tippah County.
Glenn Swartzfager, Crawford’s lawyer, argued in the July 25 fi ling that there were numerous errors in Crawford’s rape trial including poor performance by the defense, prosecutorial misconduct and questionable rulings and jury in-structions from the trial judge.
“A more error-ridden case may never have come before this court,” Swartzfager wrote in the brief to the Supreme Court.
“Mr. Crawford is not asserting the right to a perfect trial, though the trial he received was far from perfect, but he is asserting his right to a trial which had some chance of providing the reliability demanded by the United States and Mississippi constitutions,” Swartzfager wrote.
Death row inmate challenges rape convictionBY JACK ELLIOTT JR.
Associated Press
Associated PressBILOXI — A group
of ghost hunters was spending a weekend at Beauvoir.
The Sun Herald re-ports some folks ar-gue Beauvoir not only houses relics from Jef-ferson Davis’ time on the Gulf Coast — they say his family and Con-federate soldiers still wander the grounds of the historic home.
Enter Scott Rogers and MGCParanormal, a group of about 10 people whose expertise includes areas such as engineering, technol-ogy and medicine. The group moved in Friday to investigate.
“One (staffer says) he sees Jeff Davis a couple of times a week stand-ing in the main hall,” Rogers said. “Full-body apparitions are a rar-ity, but they’re normal there.”
He said visitors have even sent in photos, de-picting ghostly fi gures in the background.
“There’s a fi le, I’m guessing 30 or 40 pho-tographs that visitors have sent back to them,” Rogers said. “There are photographs of full-body apparitions that aren’t supposed to be there.

AUG. 11 (8/11) SERVES AS CONVENIENT REMINDER FOR CORINTH AREA RESIDENTS TO ALWAYS CALL 811
BEFORE DIGGING
City of Corinth Gas & Water Department encourages people to make a free call 2 .
With Aug. 11 almost here, Corinth Gas & Water Department hopes this date on the
calendar, 8/11, will serve as a natural reminder for residents to call 811 prior to any digging project to have underground utility lines marked. Every eight minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first calling 811.
When calling 811, homeowners and contractors are connected to Corinth Gas & Water, the local one-call center, which notifies the appropriate utility companies of their intent to dig. Professional locators are then sent to the requested digging site to mark the approximate locations of underground lines with flags, spray paint or both.
Striking a single line can cause injury, repair costs, fines and inconvenient outages.
Every digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants a call to 811. Installing a mailbox, building a deck, planting a tree and laying a patio are all examples of digging projects that need a call to 811 before starting.
. 11 and throughout the year, we remind homeowners and professional
contractors alike to call 811 before digging to eliminate the risk of striking an underground utility John Rhodes, Manager of Corinth Gas & Water Department. It really is the only way
The depth of utility lines can vary for a number of reasons, such as erosion, previous
digging projects and uneven surfaces. Utility lines need to be properly marked because even when digging only a few inches, the risk of striking an underground utility line still exists.
Visit www.call811.com or www.corinthgasandwater.com for more information about 811
and safe digging practices.

“Stop just hatin’ all the time.” If you haven’t been following the news, you might not know whether this bon mot was uttered by a char-
acter on the ABC Family show “Pretty Little Liars” or by the president of the United States.
Of course, it was the leader of the free world at a Kansas City, Mo., rally last week, implor-ing congressional Republicans to start cooperating with him. The line struck a characteristi-cally — and tellingly — juvenile and plaintive note.
How many books and arti-cles have been written by con-
servatives seeking to divine the philosophical beliefs and psychological motivations lurking beneath the president’s smooth exterior?
It’s certainly true that the president is much further left than he’d ever admit, but the deepest truth about Obama is that there is no depth. He’s smart without being wise. He’s glib without being eloquent. He’s a ce-lebrity without being interesting. He’s callow.
It’s a trope on the right to say that Obama has quit, that he’s not interested in the job anymore. It isn’t true. If you are smug and unwilling to bend from your (erroneous) pre-sumptions of how the world works, this is what presidential leadership looks like.
Obama is incapable of the unexpected ges-ture or surprising departure. He evidently has no conception of the national interest larger than his ideology or immediate politi-cal interests. In terms of his sensibility, he’s about what you’d get if you took the average writer for The New Yorker and made him president of the United States.
The notion that Obama might be a grand historical fi gure was always an illusion, al-though at the beginning his rousing words lent it some superfi cial support. Once the magic wore off, it became clear he’s not really an orator. His greatest rhetorical skill turns out to be mockery.
The man who once promised to transcend political divisions is an expert at the stinging partisan jab. What Winston Churchill was to thundering statements of resolve, he is to snotty put-downs.
During the 2012 campaign, he hit Repub-lican nominee Mitt Romney with relish over his promise to cut funding for public televi-sion: “Elmo, you better make a run for it.” He has called the Ryan budget a “meanwich.” He has made the Republican reaction to his law-lessness an ongoing joke.
His natural venue is the fundraiser or cam-paign rally, any gathering of adoring parti-sans who don’t need convincing that he’s the greatest wit since Oscar Wilde. They soak up his faux folksy, g-droppin’ assurances that he’s working for ordinary “folks,” and laugh at anything they suspect might be one of his brilliant barbs. Not since Thomas Jefferson took snide swipes at the Federalists ...
The president’s constant complaints about everyone else in Washington playing politics while he high-mindedly devotes himself to substance have all the maturity of Holden Caulfi eld’s plaints about “phonies.” Please, grow up.
Ever since he lost the House in 2010 and could no longer operate on the basis of sheer brute force, the president has relied almost entirely on tactical cleverness. It has been im-pressive on its own terms, whether it involves the invention of the “war on women” in 2012 or the double-dog dare to Republicans to im-peach him now.
But this is basically all he’s got — besides his infamous “pen and phone.” He has al-ready expanded the powers of the offi ce be-yond their legitimate bounds and may well take another quantum leap with an executive amnesty. But rarely has the presidency felt so small, at the same time discontents at home and chaos abroad loom so large.
Chris Cillizza wrote a post for The Wash-ington Post the other day titled, “It’s virtu-ally impossible to be a successful modern president.” This echoes analysis from the late 1970s that America had become ungovern-able. It hadn’t. It just had puny presidents not up to the challenges of the day.
It’s not “hatin’” to expect something better — or at the very least a little less pettiness.

The callow president
Prayer for today
A verse to share
STARKVILLE — People on both sides of the Mississippi Republican U.S. Senate pri-mary are angry and for the 40-plus days since the June 24 second primary, the de-bate has raged between supporters of incumbent U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran and challenger state Sen. Chris McDaniel.
For the most part, the ven-ues for those arguments have been social media or the com-ment section of online news outlets, aggregation sites, and blogs. To be sure, there have been many engaged in those debates that had the courage of their convictions and attached their names to their political stances.
But there have been just as many who took their shots safe in the arms of anonymity. Regardless, the political standoff seemed to grow stronger and more heated as weeks passed.
That’s why I think that Sen. McDaniel’s challenge is a good thing in that it signals the beginning of the end of inertia and uncer-tainty surrounding the Re-publican primary. McDan-iel and his supporters asked the Mississippi Republican Party Executive Commit-tee to review the evidence submitted by the McDaniel camp and declare him the winner. The party executive committee rather quickly
and decisive-ly declined to review the evidence, cit-ing time con-straints and ruling that the courts were the proper venue in which to
settle the challenge.That action dovetails
with the fact that the com-mittee has already certi-fi ed the results of the June 24 second primary and the lack of precedent for such an action, as national elec-tion law experts like Uni-versity of California-Irvine law professor Richard L. Hasen wrote in his blog www.electionlawblog.org: “The McDaniel campaign has now posted its election contest papers. The contest presents an even weaker claim than was described at the press conference. This will almost surely fail before both the Miss. Republican party and in court.”
Yet it’s clear that Mis-sissippi and the rest of the country need closure and a reckoning in this long, bitter and divisive campaign.
The Mississippi GOP has ruled and the matter now moves to the courts. When a lawsuit is fi led, the courts will likewise make a ruling. Regardless the party’s rul-
ing and the fi nal decision of the courts, there will be some who will never be sat-isfi ed and who will not have faith in the system.
That is why it is impor-tant that McDaniel and his supporters get their day before the judicial system. Such challenges are tedious, fraught with delays and present at best a serious distraction from the effort of Mississippi Republicans to win the general election against Democratic chal-lenger and former U.S. Rep. Travis Childers of Boonev-ille.
But only the playing out of the procedural and ju-dicial appellate string can bring any sort of end to the inertia and uncertainty of this post-election battle. The state GOP has made their decision. At some point, a fi nal decision will be made by the courts. At some point, the November ballot will be set.
The hard truth, the un-comfortable truth, for Re-publicans is that there are fellow citizens and taxpay-ers among them who may well be unable or unwilling to accept the outcome of the McDaniel challenge if it fails. The hard truth, the uncomfortable truth, for Republicans is that some voters may leave the GOP looking for another political
affi liation.The cogent question be-
comes then just how many Republicans will take that path? That question not only haunts Republicans, but is also on the minds of Missis-sippi Democrats seeking to break the stranglehold that the state’s GOP has held on U.S. Senate seats in Missis-sippi since the late John C. Stennis retired.
Mississippi’s politi-cal drama is playing out against a national backdrop in which the GOP has a le-gitimate chance to regain control of the U.S. Senate in a close political scenario.
Nate Silver, arguably the nation’s best political prog-nosticator, gives the GOP a 60 percent chance of re-taking the U.S. Senate and gives Cochran a 97 percent chance of winning in No-vember (http://fi vethir-tye ight .com/features/republican-gop-senate-forecast/).
But what’s crystal clear at this juncture is that there is a contingent of conservative voters – what size is any-one’s guess at this point – who aren’t moved by those numbers and are hanging on every subtle nuance of the McDaniel challenge.

McDaniel’s challenge brings end to inertia, uncertainty
Rafi Horowitz pulled the car to the side of the road, reached across me, opened the glove compartment and pulled out a black semi-automatic pistol in a well-worn leather holster. He clipped it to his belt.
“We should stop,” he said, pointing with his chin to an Israeli couple and small child standing next to their broken-down car in Gaza. A group of Palestinian teenag-ers — not threatening, just bored-looking — had gath-ered some yards away.
In those days, you just drove into Gaza from Is-rael. It was not diffi cult. Is-raelis fl ooded into Gaza to buy cheap produce and to get their cars fi xed at end-less stretches of auto repair shops.
Horowitz, whose moth-er’s family had lived in Jeru-salem for eight generations, had fought in the 1948 Is-raeli War of Independence when he was 17. He was a colonel in the army reserve but now worked in the government press offi ce, guiding foreign journalists around. He believed that many Americans could not understand Israelis, be-cause many Americans had never sacrifi ced anything for their country.
Not all Israelis believed this. There was an active
peace movement made up of Israelis who felt end-less war was not what they wanted for their children. And they believed the only solution was for an Israeli state to live side by side with a Palestinian state.
A few days ago, Uri Avnery, a leader in the peace movement, wrote a column that ended with a sequence from some future movie: “One scene: Israeli soldiers discover a tunnel and en-ter it in order to clear it of enemies. At the same time, Hamas fi ghters enter the tunnel at the other end, on their way to attack a kibbutz.
“The fi ghters meet in the middle, beneath the fence. They see each other in the dim light. And then, instead of shooting, they shake hands.”
Avnery called it a “crazy fantasy” but one that he hopes will become real.
Horowitz, the pistol rid-ing high on his hip, exited the car and stood with the stranded family next to the broken-down car in Gaza. We waited with them until a tow truck arrived. The Pales-tinian teenagers did not stir.
We drove on to our des-tination a few miles south of Gaza in the Sinai Desert. Rising out of the sand like a Disney stage set was the Israeli settlement of Yamit. Israel had conquered all of Sinai in the Six-Day War
and had built settlements in the belief that once you build a settlement, it is per-manent. And the Arabs had to live with that fact.
Yamit blossomed. There were green spaces, mod-ern buildings, walkways, schools, a bubbling foun-tain and hothouses where thousands of red and purple fl owers were grown for ex-port to Europe.
The settlers at Yamit be-lieved they had found a per-manent home.
And then peace broke out. Israeli Prime Minister Men-achem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat sat down and signed a treaty. In it, Begin traded land for peace. He traded away Yamit and almost all the other Sinai settlements to Egypt. Some settlers left Yamit, but oth-ers refused, waiting for the Israeli soldiers to come and evict their fellow Israelis.
Eliazur Schmoeli, who had once worked at Grossinger’s in the Borscht Belt of the Catskill Mountains of New York, was still working be-hind the counter of his res-taurant when I got to Yamit.
“My neighbor says he will die here in Yamit rather than leave,” Schmoeli told me. “I will not. I will not die for a place to live. I am a realist. If leaving the Sinai means peace for Israel, then we must leave.”
A year later, on April
23, 1982, the Israeli army showed up after issuing re-peated warnings. Some of the residents of Yamit took to the rooftops of their homes and refused to leave. Oth-ers armed themselves with sticks. The soldiers dragged them down and into buses. Nobody was seriously hurt.
The Egyptian govern-ment offered $80 million to Israel for Yamit, but the Israeli government blew up the homes and businesses and other buildings instead. In a few hours, they had converted the settlement to a wasteland. Today the des-ert claims Yamit.
Still, it is a powerful sym-bol. Israel had traded land for peace, and the peace treaty with Egypt still holds. Can Israel do the same on the West Bank and in Gaza? Or must the Palestinians and Israelis keep exchang-ing blow for blow?
Some read the Bible and say it justifi es an “eye for an eye.”
Maybe it does. But Mo-handas Gandhi had a dif-ferent view. “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind,” he said.

An eye for an eye leaves the world blind
“And I will bring the third part through the fi re, and will refi ne them as silver is refi ned, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.” — Zechariah 13:9
O Lord, my gracious Father, may I not be so eager for more, that I feel I have nothing to spare. Help me to realize that if I may be on the mountain-top, or at the level of the sea, thy spirit may dwell in my soul. May I rejoice that I can always receive and share thy grace and love. Amen.

Broken-down chillerthreatens collection
OCEAN SPRINGS — Officials at the Walter Anderson Museum of Art in Ocean Springs say a broken-down chiller threatens to damage an irreplaceable collection.
WLOX TV reports that the chiller is part of a heating and air condition-ing system that helps control the temperature and humidity at the mu-seum. A temporary solu-tion is in place, but the museum needs money to permanently fix the problem.
Museum Executive Di-rector Rosemary Roosa said the estimated coast is at least $180,000.
Museum leaders have asked the Ocean Springs Board of Aldermen to help cover half of the cost.
Lee extension gets ready for centennial
VERONA — The Lee County Extension Ser-vice is preparing for its centennial celebration.
The event will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Lee County Agri-Center in Ve-rona. It’s in honor of the 100th anniversary of the federal Smith-Level Act, which created the exten-sion service.
The Northeast Mis-sissippi Daily Journal reports that the celebra-tion includes displays of work done throughout the year by 4-H mem-bers. Displays will in-clude traditional crafts such as needlework, jewelry-making and paint-ing, as well as a robotics demonstration.
Online maps callprivate road public
OXFORD — A Lafay-ette County man says a high-tech glitch is caus-ing problems involving a private road on his property.
The Oxford Eagle re-ports that John Brasher lives near County Road 154. The problem is that several GPS systems identify Brasher’s private road as a public street. Brasher told county of-ficials this past week that, as a result, he gets several uninvited guests traveling across his prop-erty at all hours of the day and night.
Brasher said he is fil-ing an application with Google that should help fix the problem on Google maps, but he doesn’t know how long it might take to resolve the issue.
On Monday, he asked the Lafayette County Board of Supervisors for any assistance they may be able to provide in the meantime.
Southaven raisesbuilding permit fees
SOUTHAVEN — Build-ing fees are going up in Southaven for the first time since the 1980s.
The Commercial Ap-peal reports the increase approved by the Board of Aldermen is less than was recommended in the 2012 International Build-ing Code the city recently adopted.
Planning and building director Whitney Choat-Cook says fees will in-crease about 25 percent on building permits for residential and commer-cial construction.
For 2013, the city col-
lected $521,791 in fees, which are based, in part, on square footage.
Southaven officer shot during arrest
SOUTHAVEN — The police chief in Southaven says one of his officers is recovering from a gun-shot wound to the leg.
Chief Tom Long says the officer was shot after pulling over a suspect in a possible drug case Fri-day evening. The suspect and the officer struggled over the officer’s gun. The gun went off and the officer suffered what Long says was a non-critical leg wound.
Long says the suspect faces drug and aggravat-ed assault charges. He gave no other details in his emailed statement, saying the matter is still being investigated.
Bean field propertyreturned to state
NATCHEZ — The feder-al government has given back to the State of Mis-sissippi the so-called bean field property originally slated to be the southern terminus of the Natchez Trace Parkway.
U.S. Sen. Thad Co-chran, R-Miss., gave the deed this week to Secretary of State Del-bert Hosemann during a ceremony in Natchez. Natchez attorney Walter Brown filed the deed transaction with the chancery court.
The Natchez Democrat reports the city currently has a 25-year lease on 37 of the 67 acres conveyed, and has eyed the property since 1999 for possible recreational use, Brown said.

Woman, 78, hidescash in girdle, bra
ROMULUS, Mich. — A 78-year-old Florida woman tried to fly on an international trip from Detroit Metropoli-tan Airport with almost $41,000 in cash hidden inside her girdle, bra and carry-on bag, fed-eral authorities said.
A complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Detroit said the Clearwater woman was trying to board a flight April 2 to the Philip-pines with her daughter. She initially said she had $200 in cash but submitted a form de-claring she had $1,200, prompting questions.
During a search, Cus-toms and Border Pro-tection officers found $8,000 in wallets in her carry-on bag, $4,000 sewn into a cloth pouch and nearly $1,000 in envelopes, according to the complaint. She then told them she had $3,000 in her blouse and $2,000 sewn into the strap of her bra.
Officers continued to search and said they found about $21,000 in her girdle. The woman told authorities that she had recently sold her home for $120,000, wired some money to the Philippines and had planned to carry a por-tion of the money with her.
“She stated that she did not wire the pro-ceeds to the Philippines this time because she thought it was safer to carry the money,” ac-cording to the complaint.
Bank robber with many hats sought
MINEOLA, N.Y. — Po-lice in New York are on the hunt for a prolific bank robber who wears many hats.
Police say the man donned a range of wacky headpieces as he committed eight bank robberies in Nas-sau County over the course of 2 ½ months ending July 23.
One of the banks was robbed twice.
Surveillance photos show the robber wear-ing a floppy white hat at one bank. At another, he accessorized with a baseball hat that had a picture of President Barack Obama on it.
And at another, he decided on a hat with a long wig attached.
Police believe it’s the same robber in all the photos.
Iraq tests Obama’s force doctrine use
WASHINGTON — In making the case for U.S. airstrikes in Iraq, President Barack Obama is drawing on the doctrine involving the use of American force that he outlined less than three months ago, when it seemed he was trying to avoid potential U.S. military action anywhere.
In a late May speech at the U.S. Military Academy, Obama said he would use military force under two sce-narios: a direct threat against Americans or U.S. interests, and a humanitarian crisis on a scale that he said would “stir the con-science.”
On Thursday night, when Obama an-nounced that he had authorized airstrikes and humanitarian air-drops in Iraq, he argued that both conditions were being met.
“When the lives of American citizens are at risk, we will take ac-
tion,” Obama said. “And when many thousands of innocent civilians are faced with the danger of being wiped out and we have the capacity to do something about it, we will take action.”
Two days later, he suggested the U.S. en-gagement in Iraq will go on for some time.
“This is going to be a long-term project,” Obama said of achiev-ing the political climate in Iraq that its leaders need to counter terror-ist threats.
U.S. military jets have conducted several airstrikes on militant targets near Iraq’s Kurd-ish capital of Irbil, home to a U.S. consulate and about three dozen American military train-ers. The military also has undertaken two air-drops of food and water for Iraqis under siege from the Islamic State group, and Obama has authorized strikes if needed to protect the civilians.
The deteriorating situation appears to fall within the param-eters for military action Obama outlined. Yet the shift from a theoretical argument about using force to actually doing just that will test the scope and application of Obama’s policy.
U.S. may finally sell weapons to Kurds
WASHINGTON — For years, Kurdish officials have beseeched the Obama administration to let them buy U.S. weapons. For just as long, the administration has rebuffed America’s closest allies in Iraq.
U.S. officials insisted they could only sell arms to the government in Baghdad, even after Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki broke a written promise to deliver some to the Kurds. Their peaceful, semiautono-mous northern region had been the lone suc-cess story to come out of the 2003 U.S. inva-sion.
The U.S. has resisted arming the Kurds be-cause Washington’s aim is to keep Iraq united. A strong Kurdish army could hasten indepen-dence for the Kurds.
Now, the Islamic State group, which some American officials have branded “a terror-ist army,” has overpow-ered lightly armed Kurd-ish units, threatening the Kurdish region and the American personnel stationed there.
President Barack Obama said Saturday that the U.S. had in-creased military aid to the Kurds, though he did not elaborate. White House officials said Fri-day that Baghdad had sent the Kurds some weapons, a first after years of ill relations between the Kurds and the central government.
“The United States and the Iraqi govern-ment have stepped up our military assistance to Kurdish forces as they wage their fight,” Obama said.
Among the 300 mili-tary advisers the Penta-gon sent to Iraq in June, dozens are operating out of Irbil, the capital of the Kurdish region, which is now within 25 miles of fighters from the Islamic State.
Ebola taking financial toll
WASHINGTON — Cat-erpillar has evacuated a handful of employees from Liberia. Canadian Overseas Petroleum Ltd. has suspended a drilling project. British
Airways has canceled flights to the region. ExxonMobil and Chev-ron are waiting to see whether health officials can contain the danger.
The Ebola outbreak, which has claimed nearly 1,000 lives, is disrupting business and inflicting economic dam-age in the three African countries at the center of the crisis: Guinea, Si-erra Leone and Liberia. So far, analysts say the crisis doesn’t threaten the broader African or global economies.
“We must make sure it is controlled and contained as quickly as possible,” said Oluse-gun Aganga, trade min-ister in Nigeria, which has confirmed nine cas-es of Ebola. “Once that is done, I don’t think it will have a lasting im-pact on the economy.”
The World Health Organization on Friday declared the outbreak an international public health emergency. The WHO didn’t recommend any travel or trade bans. But it cautioned anyone who had had close contact with Ebola patients to avoid international travel and urged exit screenings at international airports and border crossings.
“When you have a widespread outbreak of Ebola, you can end up with a panic,” said John Campbell, senior fellow for Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Rela-tions. “People won’t go to work. Expatriates will leave. Economic activity will slow. Fields won’t get planted.”
Arrest death causes tensions with mayor
NEW YORK — Police have become increas-ingly at odds with Mayor Bill de Blasio over the appearance he is taking sides against them af-ter the chokehold death of a black suspect last month — a conflict that has prompted the city’s top law enforcement of-ficial to do damage con-trol by calling the mayor “very pro-cop.”
What angered many was a recent forum in which the Rev. Al Sharp-ton, one of the biggest critics of the New York Police Department, was seated alongside the mayor, a liberal Demo-crat, and the police commissioner as he lambasted law enforce-ment and suggested the mayor’s mixed-race son would be a “candi-date for a chokehold” if he were an ordinary New Yorker. The image was seized on by critics of the administration and plastered on the cover of the New York Post with the headline “Who’s the Boss!”
“It is outrageously insulting to all police officers to say that we go out on our streets to choke all people of color as Al Sharpton stated while seated at the table right next to our mayor at City Hall,” said Patrick Lynch, head of the powerful Patrol-men’s Benevolent As-sociation. Another union official, Ed Mullins of the Sergeants Benevo-lent Association, hinted at a work slowdown at the nation’s largest po-lice department.
Former Mayor Ru-dolph Giuliani even weighed in, saying in a radio interview that de Blasio made a “big mistake .... setting up a press conference like that and putting a police commissioner in that situation. That’s ex-tremely damaging to the police commissioner, to keep up the morale of the police.”

MARIETTA — Mo-ments don’t always seem important when they happen.
An old friend found Ray Fielder on the Inter-net and came from Okla-homa City to Marietta for a visit last October.
“I was tickled to death,” said Murray Reagen. “All those years go by, and I found him.”
It was a quick three-day trip with the promise of more to come.
Photographs were tak-en before Reagen went home, and those shots turned out to be the last ever taken of Fielder. He died Nov. 2 from a heart attack at age 72.
Helene Fielder has one of those photos in a frame in the workshop she used to share with her hus-band.
“Now, that’s my fa-vorite picture,” she said. “Who would have known the picture would mean so much? It’s fuzzy. It’s not perfect. But what does that matter?”
Ray Fielder was a hus-band, a father and a friend. He also was an artist and a teacher, and someone who could be counted upon to deliver an honest opinion.
“At the GumTree Festi-val, he would come over and look at my work. He would make no bones about his comments,” said Rick Anderson, a Clinton-based artist. “He liked my drawings, I think, a lot more than my paintings. He liked my technique and the black and white.
“He would say some-thing like, ‘This is the best piece here.’
“Then it would be an-other year and he would say, ‘I don’t like this as much.’
“It wasn’t a comment to take offense to. It was Ray and how he expressed himself.”
Helene Fielder met the man who would become her husband at a military base, where he was an instructor at the arts and crafts shop.
“One time, I caught him looking at me. I turned around and gave him a look, like, I caught you,” she said. “Then he gave me a lopsided grin.”
She grew to admire the man from Kirkville with a degree from Memphis Academy of Art. He knew things that she wanted to learn.
“He was a really great sculptor and painter. He was also a photographer. He taught me a lot. He was a big help with my art,” she said. “I’d say, ‘Do you know how to do this?’ Then he’d give me his lopsided grin.”
Helene Fielder is an award-winning potter.
When the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art offi cially opened in Biloxi in 2010, her work was there to represent all of Missis-sippi’s ceramic artists.
“One lady drove here from Virginia to buy my work,” she said. “That was amazing, that it could connect with somebody like that.”
If it sounds like brag-ging, then part of the boast was for her hus-band, who glazed, fi red and shipped her pottery.
“He really did support me all my life,” she said.
Fielder also applied his talent and knowledge to his own work.
As a painter, Fielder was known for his skies.
Anderson, who has Fielder’s work hanging at his house, described dynamic and smooth brushstrokes that created “great skies that would roll with different colors that would juxtapose with rolling hills.”
He did impressionist landscapes that could be small paintings or fi ve-foot-tall canvases.
From a lifetime of look-ing up and observing, he found infi nite variety.
“Sometimes, he’d do just a little bit of land on the bottom and there would be the sky coming at you,” Helene Fielder said. “There could be thunderclouds, or it would be peaceful. They had a lot of depth.”
Pontotoc County resi-dent Martha Cheney said she saved her nickels and dimes to buy her fi rst Ray Fielder painting, one of the big ones.
“It looked like a Missis-sippi sky,” Cheney said. “You look at the sky in his painting and think it’s just blue, but you really look and you see pink and all the subtle colors, and it looks like a Mississippi sky.”
Helene Fielder said that after years of travel-ing around the world, her husband simply needed to come home. But if he’d never left, he wouldn’t have met her or his friend, Reagen.
“I was a young pup, 23 or 24,” Reagen said. “I got stationed in Germany. Rather than going out drinkin’ and hootin’ and hollerin’ with the other guys, I went to the arts and crafts center.”
Fielder encouraged him, and before long, Re-
agen bought $30 or $40 worth of silver to fashion into a pair of wedding bands.
“Ray pushed me to en-ter them in an art show,” Reagen said.
They won the base show, then the Germany show, and went on to compete against work made by artists from all branches of the service based in Europe.
“If I’d placed third, I would’ve gotten a trip back to the states,” Rea-gen said. “But to be fourth among all services and all across Europe, that was something.”
Helene Fielder contin-ues making pottery and jewelry in the workshop she once shared with her husband. His easel stands where he last used it, but his paints and brushes are packed in a metal storage locker.
She decided to go for-ward with her annual open house, and ended up selling four Ray Field-er originals.
“They always wanted some of Ray’s work,” she said. “With him passing away, they wanted to do it.”
She was making a de-livery to someone who already had one of his paintings on the wall, and that became another im-portant moment.
“It was a piece of Ray on the wall,” she said. “It was nice. I can’t explain it. It was just this feeling.”
She has his work to help her remember, and she also has memories and stories that have nothing to do with art.
“If I would go for a walk or for a run, he al-ways wanted to know what road I was taking. It used to annoy me,” she said with a smile, “but he would pick me up if it started raining or a storm rolled in.
“When you came home late at night and the porch light was on — that’s the kind of thing Ray did.”
She’s had time to think since the trauma of Nov. 2, and she’s reached a conclusion.
“The things we do, even if they’re really little, tiny things, they linger on. He didn’t have to do big things to make a differ-ence,” she said. “You get something after 32 years that can’t be replaced when it’s lost, especially when Ray was such a sweet, good person.”

“Get on Up” PG-13, ****, Chadwick Boseman, Nelson Ellis, Dan Ayk-
royd, Vi-ola Davis. I m a g i n e Entertain-ment. Di-rector Tate T a y l o r . L e n g t h : 138 min-utes.
The au-dience will experience
all of the emotions of live singing while watch-ing this fi lm about James Brown, The Godfather of Soul. The music is loud and full of rhythm and
soul as James Brown helps to roll out soul mu-sic.
The story moves back and forth throughout the movie, giving the audi-ence a look at Brown’s background and how he became a success. The fi lm relates the good, the bad, and sometimes the ugly of what happened as Brown’s journey to suc-cess rocked on.
He had a very diffi cult and horrible childhood along with trouble with the law. However, he be-came successful in the music and entertainment business.
Brown knew how to get
the audience pumped up with his music and danc-ing. I can remember lis-tening to soul music from James Brown and Wilson Pickett along with others in the music business. It was a new way of articu-lating music and art.
The movie leaves no holds barred. It gets right down to the lifestyle and music history.
He was known as the hardest working man in the business. He pushed his band and felt the rhythm of what the audi-ence would enjoy.
His songs gave people a reason to enjoy music and lyrics - such as “It’s
a Man’s World, but not without a woman.”
Brown had the ability to become a creative mu-sical performer. His songs were heard all over the world in a time when the world was in turmoil.
Watching the soul pow-er brings back memories of college and the mu-sic we listened to on the radio and in concerts. What a performance by Chadwick Boseman, who played James Brown.
Brown had lots of prob-lems to deal with during his life. Many entertain-ers must have it their way. Brown appeared to be one of them. He had
to be the boss, and he was not very good at apolo-gizing to band members after he had a temper tantrum.
Some may remember Brown and Mr. Dyna-mite. His stage perfor-mances were outstand-ing. He not only did a lot of singing, but he strutted across the stage dancing and cutting-up in order to entertain his audience.
I prefer to watch the story as it happened, but I understand why the au-dience picked a different way to tell the story. The movie shows the prob-lems Brown had to face in order to become a star.
If this movie appears to be something worth watching, Get on Up, and make a stop at the local theater for “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business.”

Magnolia Regional Health Center now offers a new procedure called Electromagnetic Naviga-tion Bronchoscopy (ENB) that offers patients a min-imally-invasive option to locate, enable biopsy and plan treatment for a le-sion (spot) detected deep in the lung.
Magnolia Regional Health Center is one of the fi rst in the area to pro-vide the superDimension i·Logic System as an op-tion for patients who have learned they have a hard-to-reach lesion on their lung. The ENB procedure combines GPS-like tech-nology with a catheter-based system that uses the patient’s natural airways to access lesions that were
p r e v i -o u s l y hard to r e a c h . T y p i -cally a patient with a spot on t h e i r l u n g h a d the op-tions of major surgery to remove a section of the lung, bronchoscopy (which does not reach le-sions deep in the lung), needle biopsy, or watch-ful waiting.
The ENB procedure is typically performed in an outpatient setting and its unique approach may in-crease the chances that a
patient w i l l s a f e l y get a diagno-sis and b e g i n t r e a t -ment, if needed.
T h e p r o c e -d u r e is being performed by the pulmonologists, Dr. Brodie Wayne McAlpin and Dr. Andres Endara Bravo.
“We are pleased to of-fer a minimally-invasive alternative for patients who have a lesion on their lung that is hard to reach or cannot tolerate a more invasive procedure,” said McAlpin. “This is an op-tion that will help many patients.”

OCEAN SPRINGS — At least three Ocean Springs business owners will foot the $200 per month bill to allow a group of resi-dents to continue playing pickup soccer games at the city’s Freedom Field.
Mayor Connie Moran said Wednesday the con-tributions from the own-ers of Solar Control, Big Shirley’s Restaurant and Big O’s Sports Bar will re-sult in not only the lights
at Freedom Field staying on at night but also those at the Martin Luther King Jr. Park basketball court.
Moran has said the Parks & Recreation De-partment was already $7,000 over its electric-ity budget, with two more months left in the fi scal year.
She said the city is look-ing into changing the lights out at several parks to make them more en-ergy effi cient.
Along with Freedom Field, the city had to turn the lights off at four other parks to cut down on en-ergy costs. Moran said those four will remain closed for now.
Spencer Buskirk, who heads up the soccer group, said he is excited people will be able to use the park at night again, but still has concerns about the future of the fi eld.
“‘‘I greatly appreciate the sponsorship and the generosity of those folks. But at the same time, we don’t want that to be a permanent fi x — that the city is relying on private businesses to now run the parks. I have a strong objection to paying the city to use a public fi eld. Hopefully, the city can work out its budget issues so we don’t have to rely on a sponsor to use a public facility,” Buskirk said.
The business owners said they felt compelled to help once they found out how many citizens used the park.
“I think soccer is a great sport for anybody to play. Men, women, boys, girls, any age. It keeps every-body in shape, and it keeps them off the street and gives everybody some fun to enjoy themselves,” said Joe Williams, owner of Solar Control.
“This is my new home, Ocean Springs. And there’s no way I can come here and take all the beauty and leave without putting something back,” said Michael Dummett, the owner of Big Shirley’s.

Horoscopes
The Daily Corinthian family of quality magazines continues
with the presentation of Crossroads Magazine Homes Edition
on Saturday, Aug. 30.
Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian
ARIES (March 21-April 19). A need you have will continue its silent pleadings until it is fulfi lled. This needn’t be a dif-fi cult one to fi gure out. Make it your priority, and suddenly the universe will seem to align in support.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Confl ict is part of life and noth-ing to run from. Today’s confl ict could benefi t you further down the road if you commit to work-ing through it to a mutually agreeable solution.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What is going on with the new generation? There was a time when they were rebellious and another time when they were indulged. Now the biggest prob-lem is how entitled they feel. Your infl uence will help matters.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). To seize your opportunities, you must fi rst recognize them. What is needed? How can you bend what’s available to meet the need? There’s a niche to be
fi lled, and you’re just the one to do it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sparks ignite fl ames. Fire spreads. Away it goes -- the small excitement, surrounded by amenable infl uences, turns into a blaze. The lesson here is: Be careful what you spark to.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Magical transformations can come from small motions. Don’t underestimate your pow-ers of infl uence. People will be changed by what you teach or model today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know that passions must be harnessed, and lately you’ve shown incredible self-control in this area. You may still long to send your passion into being, but you’re also a realist and will study the trajectory.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are many levels between casual and formal. You’ll navi-gate all of those gray areas and fi gure out what to wear, say and
do and fi nally what to be as a result of all you’ve experienced.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a Promethean fi re delivering light to your situation today. You’ll think you know, and then, suddenly, you’ll SUPER-KNOW. You’ll be all over it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Communicating with the ones you love most will be an exercise in extreme listening: lis-tening more than you talk, listen-ing between the lines, listening with an open heart.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are observant and will intuit what is about to happen before it happens. So act on those hunches, even when doing so may seem a bit strange to the others around you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Any fool can force things along, but it takes a strong person to be gentle. Your gentle ways will open previously locked doors. You will be water, following the path of least resistance.
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 24-year-old plus-sized woman (60 or 70 pounds overweight), but very comfortable in my own skin.
When swimming in public, I wear a one-piece bathing suit because it doesn’t attract a lot of attention.
When I’m home, I have a bi-kini top and shorts I pre-fer to wear.
This is be-cause I don’t like being covered up like it was in the 1950s, and I feel good when my curves are properly a c c e n t u -ated.
When I go back to see my family and swim, I wear a bikini top and black shorts.
Recently, my mother said, “When the family comes over, you can’t wear that. It makes people uncomfortable.”
I was shocked, and we had a huge argument.
Most of my cousins are fi ne with my attire, as are my aunts.
Only Mom has a problem with it.
I asked if she’d feel the same about a large man swimming without a T-shirt.
She said it’s different for women.
Am I wrong for wanting to be comfortable in my childhood home?
Mom should be proud to have a daughter who accepts herself as she is.
Who is wrong here? -- OF-FENDED DAUGHTER IN CHI-CAGO
DEAR OFFENDED DAUGH-TER: You are not wrong for wanting to be comfortable.
But please remember that when you visit someone else’s home, that person’s wishes take precedence -- even if it used to be your childhood home.
While you say you are com-fortable in your own skin, it would be interesting to know what your physician thinks about your obesity.
I suspect that your mother would be prouder of you if you were less complacent and more willing to do something about your weight problem.
DEAR ABBY: I am the moth-er of three beautiful daughters.
I have been married for 11 years now.
I married at 19, just after high school.
My husband is 18 years old-er.
The fi rst fi ve years of mar-riage, when I fully depended on him, he was arrogant, vio-lent and unfaithful.
He hurt me so badly that I vowed to work hard and when
I was independent, I would move away.
Now I have a stable job -- but my kids love him, and I know they will be hurt.
My husband is jobless now. He tells me he supported me
when I was jobless, so it’s my turn to take care of him.
I stay because I feel guilty. Should I fi nally forgive him,
and if so, how? -- BITTER IN NAIROBI
DEAR BITTER: If you truly want to forgive your husband for the physical and emotional abuse you suffered in the early years of your marriage, a place to start would be to talk with your spiritual adviser.
You didn’t mention whether your husband is trying to fi nd another job, if there is a valid reason why he can’t work, or if he’s still unfaithful.
If it’s the latter, then in my opinion, you “owe” him the same amount of fi nancial sup-port that he gave you and noth-ing more.
However, because I am not familiar with the marriage laws in Kenya, you should discuss this with a lawyer.

The Associated PressLOUISVILLE, Ky. — As Rory
McIlroy watched the ball drop into the cup on his fi nal stroke of the day, he pumped his right fi st and managed a slight grin.
He had fended off every challenger Saturday.
He was right where he wanted to be going to Sunday.
Leading the PGA Champi-onship.
McIlroy fi nished off a 4-un-der 67 with an 8-foot birdie putt at the 18th hole, getting up-and-down from a bunker to maintain a one-shot ad-vantage after the third round.
“It’s not the biggest lead I’ve ever had, but I’m still in con-
trol of this golf tournament,” said McIlroy, who birdied three of the last four holes. “It’s a great position to be in.”
With greens softened by overnight rain, this was a day for going low at Valhalla. Plenty of players did, most notably Bernd Wiesberger. The 28-year-old Austrian provided the biggest surprise of the round, shooting a 65 that put him in the fi nal group of a major for the fi rst time.
Shoot, this is only the sec-ond time he’s ever made a cut at a major.
“This is a dream come true,” said Wiesberger, a regular on the European Tour. “I’m very proud of myself, the way I
played today. This is a com-pletely new situation for me.”
Beyond Wiesberger, there were plenty of players ready to take aim at McIlroy on what fi gures to be a wild fi nal day on the rolling hills out-side of Louisville.
Rickie Fowler was right in the mix again at another ma-jor, shooting a 67 that left him two shots behind McIlroy’s 13-under 200. Fowler has been the runner-up at the last two majors, and fi nished fi fth at the Masters. Maybe this is the week he fi nally breaks through.
Then there’s Phil Mick-elson, who already has fi ve major titles. Lefty hasn’t won
since the 2013 British Open — his longest drought since 2003 — but he’s clearly back on his game. He birdied four of the last fi ve holes for a 67 and was three shots off the pace.
“I needed to fi nish strong to get back in it,” Mickelson said.
Australia’s Jason Day was also three strokes behind, having lost some ground de-spite a 69 that included a barefooted shot. After hitting his drive left of a creek at No. 2, he had to take off his socks and shoes and roll up his pants to get across the water.
McIlroy maintains lead at PGA

The Associated Press NEW YORK — Broken
bones. Torn ligaments. Sub-par performances.
They all combined to side-line some of the NFL’s biggest stars a year ago, a lost season for several players who spent most of the year in the train-ers’ room.
Rob Gronkowski, Percy Harvin, Julio Jones, Robert Griffi n III and Sam Bradford know all about that. So do guys such as Arian Foster, Doug Martin, Jeremy Maclin, Reggie Wayne, Brian Cushing
and Geno Atkins.“I was rehabbing every day
and it was miserable,” said Gronkowski, the New Eng-land tight end who is still working his way back from a vicious two-year stretch in which he has had four fore-arm surgeries, a back injury and torn knee ligaments.
“Hopefully that never hap-pens again,” Gronkowski added. “And I don’t wish any-thing on anyone like I had these past few years.”
Harvin got a jumpstart on his comeback in February on
the NFL’s biggest stage. After missing most of the regular season and the playoffs with a surgically repaired hip and then a concussion, Harvin re-turned the opening kickoff of the second half of the Super Bowl for a touchdown in help-ing Seattle beat Denver.
“I don’t know if any foot-ball player can say they’re fully healthy playing football, but this is the best I’ve felt in a long, long time,” Harvin said as the Seahawks opened training camp.
Philadelphia’s Maclin tore
a knee ligament in training camp last year and missed the entire season. But after an extensive rehabilitation pro-cess, the Eagles are counting on their speedy wide receiver to make big plays again.
“He was out there every day in the offseason program and it’s just a matter of him get-ting his timing back,” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said.
Wayne was off to a terrifi c start last year with 38 catches for 503 yards in seven games.
Lots of big names hoping for comebacks

The Associated Press LEXINGTON, Ky. — Ken-
tucky coach Mark Stoops would like to announce his starting quarterback within the next week.
His four candidates for the job aren’t making that deci-sion easy.
Stoops and offensive co-ordinator Neal Brown are considering junior Maxwell Smith, sophomore Patrick Towles, redshirt freshman Reese Phillips and freshman
Drew Barker to put under center for the Wildcats’ sea-son opener Aug. 30 against Tennessee-Martin.
Towles, a high-profi le re-cruit in Joker Phillips’ fi nal recruiting class before he was fi red during the 2012 season, struggled early in his career.
But after a productive spring, the 6-foot-5 Kentucky native entered fall camp as the front-runner.
Stoops said each quarter-back has received equal at-
tention and repetitions since practice began Monday, though Smith has only prac-ticed every other day while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
With each quarterback giv-en the same opportunity to win the job, Towles said the coaching staff has turned up the heat in practice, keeping blitzes coming during all live team drills.
“The guy who’s going to win the job is the guy who feels the
heat the least,” Towles said Friday during Kentucky’s me-dia day. “You can’t feel pres-sure and be a quarterback in the SEC.”
Smith has started 11 games in his career but said each quarterback has strengths, adding that Towles has the strongest arm, Phillips has been the most consistent and Barker has the widest set of tools despite his age.
Kentucky still deciding among 4 quarterbacks

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD, Mass.
— Alonzo Mourning fi rst thanked all of the usual peo-ple when he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame: His coaches, his teachers, and the foster mother who raised him.
Then he turned to those who made it possible for his unique journey to the sport’s
highest honor.With one of the doctors
who performed his kidney transplant in attendance, the former Georgetown and Mi-ami Heat star discussed the disease that threatened his life and almost ended his ca-reer. He also thanked out his cousin-turned-kidney donor, Jason Cooper.
“There was such purpose to my life at that point and
I never doubted — no mat-ter how long the odds — that it was possible,” Mourning said during Friday night’s induction ceremony. “I just thought, ‘This is much bigger than me.’ I had a goal set to win a championship that was denied when I got kidney dis-ease.”
Mourning returned to win the 2006 NBA title with the Heat and complete a career
that led him to the Spring-fi eld shrine. He was inducted in a class that also included former NBA commissioner David Stern, NCAA cham-pionship-winning coaches Nolan Richardson and Gary Williams and six-time NBA All-Star Mitch Richmond.

He wound up saving par.Still, that was a rather
pedestrian score in this round, with 37 players get-ting into the 60s. Hunter Mahan joined Weisberger with a 65, matching the best round of the week, and seven guys shot 66.
At one point, there was a fi ve-way tie for the lead. When it was done, McIl-roy was still on top but a dozen players were sepa-rated by only fi ve shots, meaning the leader will have to work a little hard-er for this major than he did for the three fi rst three championships.

A torn ACL kept him out the last half of the season. Even at 35, he says he is ready to rebound.
Jones also was on his way to another Pro Bowl season with 41 catches in fi ve games for the Falcons, but a broken right foot sent him to the sideline. He had a special cleat de-signed for him by Under Armour, a wider shoe that features a steel shank at the bottom for added sup-port.
“I feel explosive, I still feel fast,” he said. “I still feel like I can beat one-on-one matchups.”
Foster, one of the NFL’s
top running backs when healthy, considered re-tirement after a back in-jury limited him to eight games for the Texans.
“People die on the foot-ball fi eld,” Foster told ESPN. “Going through an injury like that, being 27 years old, I’m young, still I’m at the prime of my ca-reer. Is it worth it to try to come back?”
Martin, one of the league’s rising running backs, ran for 1,454 yards and 11 touchdowns for Tampa Bay as a rookie in 2012. Last year, he strug-gled early, injured his shoulder and his sopho-more season was done after just six games.
COMEBACK
CONTINUED FROM 10 three straight national championships (1972-74) were also honored, along with Lithuania star Sarunas Marciulionis. The Immaculata teams included Marianne Stan-ley, Theresa Grentz and Rene Portland.
Former Indiana Pacers coach Bob “Slick” Leon-ard, the late Nat “Sweet-water” Clifton of the New York Knicks and the late Guy Rodgers of Temple rounded out the class.
Stern was honored for his three decades of leadership that trans-formed the league from struggling teams to an international juggernaut. His introductory video
included praise from NBA stars like Michael Jordan, Bill Russell and Magic Johnson but also from Nelson Mandela.
“Everything we do is always about the game,” Stern said, asking the en-tire crowd to stand so he could thank the former players, fans and family members who made the league’s success possible. “The reason I’m here is because of thousands of people over the years who have done so much.”
Stern had fi ve current Hall of Famers welcome him into the Hall — a group that represented his wide-ranging infl uence as he rose from working at his father’s deli to the pin-nacle of the sport.

Smith lauded himself as the experienced can-didate, who has person-ally felt the pressure of live snaps in the South-eastern Conference.
No matter who earns the nod, Brown said he was confi dent the position would be im-proved from last year when Smith and Jalen Whitlow, who has trans-ferred to Eastern Illinois, shared the job.
The 2-10 Wildcats av-eraged 193.3 yards pass-ing per game to rank 98th out of 123 FBS teams.
“A lot of it has to do with year two in the sys-tem,” Brown said. “A lot
of it has to do we’re go-ing to be better around them at running back, the offensive line has matured and every (of-fensive lineman) is back. We’re going to be better at receiver. We have a long ways to go at that position, but we’re going to be more talented, and they’re going to be more fundamentally sound.”
Stoops hasn’t given many details about the quarterback competi-tion, and practices have been closed.
He said none of his four candidates are per-fect, but expects one to step up soon and end a summer of speculation.
“It is wide open,” Stoops said.

Peyton Lee has a pow-erful right arm.
Close to 150 bowlers found that out the hard way.
Lee became the young-est bowler to claim the 34th Annual Summer Classic Singles Champi-onship at Plaza Lanes in June.
“By far he is the young-est to ever win,” said Plaza Lanes owner David Curry. “He might even be the fi rst junior to compete in the Summer Classic.”
Lee, the 13-year-old son of Michael and April Lee, turned in a four-game scratch total of 812. Including his handicap mark, Lee fi nished with a combined total of 1,068.
Veteran bowler Bud Brooks won the scratch portion of the event with a score of 943.
Lee, an eighth-grader at Kossuth Middle School, bowled scores of 233, 213, 210 and 156.
“It’s nothing for him to bowl 20 games a week,” said Curry of the young bowler with a career high
score of 274. “One thing that helps Peyton is his family is behind his bowl-ing.”
Bowlers battle for the Summer Classic title the entire month of June. This year 146 competed in the annual event. Lee’s fi rst Classic taste was this year.
“He will bowl usu-ally three or four days a week,” added Curry.
Bowling has also helped the young bowler in an-other sport.
“Bowling has made my arm stronger for base-ball,” said Lee, who plans to join the bowling and baseball teams at Kos-suth.
Lee received $500 that goes into a college fund, along with a 5-foot tro-phy.
“I tried to get a trophy made as tall as he is,” said Curry.
Junior players are eligi-ble to receive up to $500 in the U.S. Bowling Asso-ciation Smart Program.
“The money is put into a fund and when the play-er goes to college, he can draw it out,” said Curry.

“Shocked: Adventures in Bringing Back the Re-cently Dead” by David Casarett, M.D.
c.2014, Current $27.95 /$32.95 Canada 260 pag-es
The good guy always has decent aim.
Even in the worst kind of shootout, Our Hero al-ways manages to nail the bad guy, who clutches his chest, falls without hit-ting his head, gasps, and fl utters his eyelids before shutting them. Fingers go limp, cue the credits.
Television aside, you know that death isn’t that neat. It’s messy and cha-otic, and in the new book “Shocked: Adventures in Bringing Back the Recent-ly Dead” by David Casa-rett, M.D., you’ll see that that’s a very good thing.
Back when he was in medical school, David Casarett had a patient he’ll
never forget: the man he calls “Joe” had a “mas-sive heart attack” and died, but the resuscitation team brought him back to life. Joe didn’t fare well – Casarett questioned his own quickness in calling code - and, because this happened some time after a 2-year-old had famously been successfully resusci-tated after dying, Casarett wondered why the out-comes weren’t the same.
Now, as a hospice doctor, Casarett knows why: lifesaving technol-ogy “can’t make [a patient] young and healthy. Nei-ther can it cure the other maladies that come with age.”
That doesn’t stop medi-cal science from trying to restart the life of someone who’s died – but where is the edge of the envelope being pushed?
CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation go back decades, if not cen-turies. Also back then, ty-
ing a body to a horse and jogging around a park was a recommended method of revival. That worked, as Casarett learned, but it was only a “partial suc-cess.” Other methods in-cluded blowing smoke into a victim’s orifi ces (volunteers? anyone?) and immersion in warm water.
Much of this, of course, has to do with a person’s heart, as Casarett learned on a tour of a monster-sized plastic organ. But it also depends on the meth-ods of revival, as he saw in a high-tech dummy in a state-of-the-art training ER. It has to do with the way someone has died, their mitochondria, how quickly (or if) the body was chilled, economics, and the proximity of life-saving equipment. Squir-rels might have answers for us. Long-term dry-ice storage via cryogenics, Casarett believes, will not.
But any way you look at it, technological advances
mean that “death isn’t what it used to be.”
So you say that expira-tion is no laughing mat-ter? It is when you’re read-ing “Shocked.” This book could turn any spectre of death into the Grin Reap-er.
With a keenly-honed sense of true curiosity and a killer wit, author David Casarett gamely goes from mortuary to museum and back, to look deeply at how “dead” is maybe not really dead these days. In doing so, he melds old-school myth with modern tech-nology to see why lives are saved (or not), and his ir-reverent comments and hilarious observances give the title of his book a wick-ed double meaning.
Death is a trip we’ll all take, and some of us will be lucky enough to return with minimal souvenirs. If you’re ready to laugh in the face of that, then read-ing “Shocked” should be your aim.
‘Shocked’ tells stories of reviving the deadBY TERRI

BROOKHAVEN — Rain-drops bead on the green leaves of thousands of young plants in the shade nursery at the Great Mississippi Tea Co. in Brookhaven, a glistening endorsement of Jason McDonald’s plan for land where cattle once roamed.
“Healthy little plant,” tea consultant Nigel Meli-can observes, picking one up for a closer look. “In two years, you’ll be pluck-ing that for tea.”
A steaming cup of com-fort from these leaves is still a bit down the road, but that’s the goal — Mis-sissippi-made specialty tea, an agritourism draw and a crop that won’t get wiped out by a hurricane.
Tourists, too, are still a year or two away, Mc-Donald says.
McDonald’s family has been timber farming since the early 1980s on north and central Walthall County farmland that’s been in the family since the 1800s.
“When Katrina came through, we lost about 75 percent of the acreage. We’re just now recovering on the timber farm,” nine years later,” he said. “We wanted to fi nd something that would recover quick-ly or not be damaged at all.
Melican said, “I’ve nev-er heard of anyone los-ing tea with a typhoon in China.”
McDonald’s May 2012 visit to a tea farm in Charleston piqued his in-terest, as soon as he heard the tea plant was a camel-lia. High heat, humidity, acidic soil and plenty of rain, “well, that’s pretty much a match” with con-ditions back home. “It went from, ‘Gee, let’s see if we can do this,’ to reach-ing out to people like Ni-gel” for a plan to take “this crazy idea” to a model and successful fruition.
The tea farm is destined for the family homestead in Lincoln County on land once used for cattle pro-duction.
Teacraft Ltd. managing director Melican, from England, has worked in 26 different tea countries, helping growers improve production, optimize fac-tories and troubleshoot problems.
The opportunity to help a new tea grower in the states was one that was too good to miss.
“If you throw money at tea, you make it grow al-most anywhere,” he says.
But America’s high la-bor cost, far above that of India, China and coun-tries in Africa, is a hang-up, and the international tea industry has been
slow to mechanize. But Japan, which has mecha-nized, provides a model.
Melican said, “I’d like to make it clear, I’m not just throwing money at tea ...”
“It’s guided throwing,” Melican clarifi es, with mechanization and the specialty market as key, suiting the trend for qual-ity specialty teas of known origin, with a good story, sustainably produced.
“The BMW and Mer-cedes end of the tea mar-ket.”
McDonald illustrates the target with a tray of top-fl ight teas in tins, their aroma an inviting tease.
Melican describes the potential.
“It’ll be a tea which, fi rst of all, you will buy to in-dulge as a luxury. You’ll buy it to impress your friends. You’ll fall in love with it,” he says. “You’ll drink it when you’re feel-ing low and you want to cheer yourself up. ... Then of course, you will start to drink it more often, and it will become a habit.”
A lot of tea is sold on its story. McDonald’s is steeped in history, with family ties stretching back to Daniel Boone and John C. Calhoun, vice president to John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jack-son, and live oaks on the site that came from seed-
lings grown from Beau-voir oaks.
The boutique tea farm — or tea garden, as that size is known — will have some commodity tea as well, for bulk tea and ready-to-drink sweet tea. In addition to specialty markets, McDonald’s plan includes a shop on the farm and online at www.greatmstea compa-ny.com.
At present, he’s got about 30,000 plants, with about 200 in the ground.
This fall, he’ll plant 3 acres, following with an-other 4 acres the next spring. About 170 acres (4,000-5,000 plants an acre) are needed for the factory (three years out, timed with the fi rst har-vest).
They projected fi rst sales of selected small amounts in 2017, with full production in 2020-21.
All tea — green, black, white, oolong — comes from the camellia sinensis species. It’s just a matter of how it’s processed.
Others are interested, too, particularly with plants’ survival after one of the coldest winters in memory.
“That always was the question” of a crop grown in tropical areas surviving the cold, “and they pulled right through,” McDon-ald.

LOS ANGELES — Smokey Bear turned 70 on Saturday — but don’t bring any candles to the party, please.
As the friendly, hug-gable bear with the brimmed hat and shovel enters his golden years, he’s burning up Twit-ter. But his message of fi re prevention through personal responsibil-ity hasn’t changed much over the years.
Here are some lit-tle-known facts about Smokey Bear on his big day.
■ STAYING POWER: Smokey Bear was cre-ated in 1944 because of fears that America’s enemies would set for-est fi res while most U.S. fi refi ghters were in battle overseas. When the war ended, Smokey stuck around — and he’s now at the center of the longest-running public service announcement campaign in U.S. his-tory.
■ A SOCIAL ANIMAL: Smokey’s image has evolved over the decades to fi t the latest media technology. When he fi rst debuted, TV was in its infancy and posters
were hand-drawn. Now, Smokey is a social media connoisseur and prolifi c blogger, with accounts on Facebook, Twitter (@Smokey_Bear), In-stagram, YouTube and Flickr. Fans can sign a virtual card and upload photos at www.smokey-bear.com.
People still like to write to Smokey the old-fashioned way, too. The imaginary bear got his own ZIP code (20252) in 1952 as his popular-ity soared, and the ZIP code was reactivated this summer.
■ A BEAR IN THE CITY: In 2001, Smokey’s public relations team changed his classic line to the more updated phrase, Only You Can Prevent Wildfi res and revamped the campaign to address the growing threat of devastating wildfi res in suburban and urban areas.
■ THE ‘REAL’ SMOKEY: Smokey Bear’s nascent ad cam-paign got a boost in 1950 when a real bear cub that had been rescued from a New Mexico wildfi re was nursed back to health and sent to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., as the living Smokey.

Wedding invitations often provide guests with a fi rst glimpse of a wedding’s style. Invita-tions also may serve as the means by which dis-tant friends and relatives fi nd out about a couple’s pending nuptials.
Amid the fl ourishes of calligraphy and im-pressive paper stock is information that speaks to the importance of the day when two people will be joining their lives to-gether. Guests will learn not only the time and the place of the wedding from the invitation, but also the formality of the event and the scope of the party that will follow.
Couples should keep certain things in mind as they begin to design their wedding invitations.
• Have a good idea of your potential guest list. Before shopping for wed-ding invitations, it is key to have a strong idea of just how big the wedding will be and how many guests will be invited. This way you will know how many invitations you will need. Invitations vary in price, so cost may be a consideration if your guest list is extensive.
• Decide on the formal-ity of the wedding. Will you be hosting a black tie affair, or will it be a casual gathering at the shore? Guests infer many things about the wedding from the invitations,
which should match the formality of the event in style and the sentiments expressed. An ornate invitation written with classic wording suggests a more formal affair, while a whimsical invi-tation with less formal wording could indicate a more laid-back event.
• Dare to be different by playing with invitation sizes and shapes. Rectan-gular cards are standard for wedding invitations, but you can explore your creativity by choosing more modern, artsy in-vitations. Circular invites or scalloped edges can add some whimsy to the wedding mood. Invita-tions that fold out or are embellished with ribbon or other decorations can be appealing. Just keep in mind that cards that are not the standard shape and size could be more costly to send. Always have the entire invitation weighed and priced at the post offi ce so you will know what the postage will cost.
• Choose a legible font and text color. Your in-vitation may look beau-tiful, but it may prove ineffective if it is diffi -
cult to read. Do not risk guests misinterpreting the date or the location because they cannot read the writing on the invita-tion. Steer clear of pastel or yellow text colors, and remember to have a high contrast between the col-or of the invitation and the text you are using for easy reading.
• Keep the invitation simple. It may be tempt-ing to load the invitation with lots of information, but all you really need are the key pieces of in-formation, such as the “who,” “what,” “where,” and “when.” Crowding the card will take away from its aesthetic appeal. Most stationers will sug-gest a separate, smaller insert in the invitation for the reception infor-mation and response card. Never put informa-tion such as where you are registered or “no kids allowed.” This is material better reserved for word of mouth or on a wed-ding Web site.
• Do some math. It is important to know your dates so vyou can receive the invitations on time, mail them out, and give guests enough time to
respond. A good rule of thumb is to mail out the invitations at least two months before the wed-ding. Have an RSVP date of no more than three to four weeks before the wedding, giving ample time to the caterers and accommodating anyone who procrastinates in sending in a response. You will need the fi nal headcount in order to confi rm seating arrange-ments and plan for cen-terpieces and favors.
• Handwrite the en-velopes. Your invitation will look more impres-sive if you address them by hand, rather than printing them off of a computer. If your hand-writing is not very neat, consider hiring a pro-fessional calligrapher to write out your envelopes.
• Make it easy for guests to respond. Be sure to place a stamp on the response card enve-lope and have that enve-lope already addressed with your home address so that guests will have no excuses not to mail a response back promptly.
• Always order extra. Mistakes happen, and you may need to send out a few extra that you hadn’t originally count-ed. Always order extra invitations just to be on the safe side. And don’t forget you will probably want to keep one as a keepsake for yourself.
Put thought into wedding invites
Toasting the bride and groom at a wedding reception is a responsi-bility that typically falls on the shoulders of the bride’s father as well as the best man and the maid of honor. Though it is an honor to give a wedding toast, it also can be nerve-wracking, as no one wants to give a toast that’s memorable for all the wrong reasons.
While the best toasts are often those that veer off the beaten path, com-ing from the heart rather than from a how-to guide found on the Internet, there is a certain formula men and women can fol-low to ensure their toasts cover all of the appropri-ate bases without offend-ing the bridal party or fellow guests.
• Acknowledge the guests. Families are more geographically di-verse than ever before, so more and more wed-dings host guests who come from far and wide to celebrate with happy couples on their wedding days. It’s customary for men and women mak-ing wedding toasts to acknowledge the guests, thanking them for being
there. This is often a great
way for best men and maids of honor to break the ice and calm their nerves, especially at larg-er weddings where they may only know a small percentage of the guests. When thanking the guests, be sure to thank the parents of the bride and groom as well.
• Explain your relation-ship to the bride and/or groom. Best men and maids of honor should devote a portion of their toasts to explaining their personal relationships with the bride and/or groom. Introduce your-self and explain how you met the bride or groom. Oftentimes, such stories have a comical twist that can further calm your nerves.
• Aim for a jovial toast.
Wedding toasts are typi-cally given at the wed-ding reception, when guests and the bridal par-ty are ready to celebrate. Such an atmosphere lends itself to a jovial toast wherein best men and maids of honor fo-cus on happy times with the bride and groom. Tell a funny anecdote that illustrates the special bond you have with the bride or groom. When choosing a story to tell, remember to keep things appropriate for guests of all ages, including young children.
• Steer clear of alcohol before giving your toast. Many people overin-dulge in alcohol at wed-ding receptions, but best men and maids of honor should avoid consuming alcohol until after they have toasted the bride
and groom. Horror sto-ries about drunken, inap-propriate wedding toasts may seem more like an urban legend than a le-gitimate possibility, but the tendency for alcohol to lower people’s inhibi-tions makes it dangerous for men and women to consume it before giving their toasts.
• Give your best wishes to the bride and groom before raising your glass. Raising your glass to toast the bride and groom is often the last step before your toast-ing duties offi cially end. But before you raise your glass, remember to offer your best wishes to both the bride and groom. Once those sentiments have been expressed, ask the guests to raise their glasses and toast the newlyweds.
Toasting happy cou-ples at their wedding re-ceptions can be stressful for best men and maids of honor who are unac-customed to speaking in front of large groups of people. But following a certain formula and speaking from the heart will ensure such toasts go off without a hitch.
Tips ease anxiety for bride, groom toastTell a funny anecdote that
illustrates the special bond you have with the bride or groom.
When choosing a story to tell, remember to keep things appropriate for guests of all
ages, including young children.
Once a couple has been married, tradition states that they be covered with tossed rice upon exiting the ceremony.
The idea of throwing
rice began during the Middle Ages, when rice symbolized fertility. Rice was tossed at the married couple in the hopes they would have many chil-
dren and be blessed with prosperity as a family.
A false rumor spread that birds who would eat the discarded rice would explode, so many people
now use birdseed or rose petals as alternatives.Rest assured that the The Cornell Lab of Ornithol-ogy has debunked the rice myth.
Tossing rice? Exploding birds are a matrimonial myth
It may be tempting to load the invitation with lots of
information, but all you really need are the key pieces of
information.

NEW YORK — Manjula Stokes has twice sworn off television, once throw-ing a set off her deck in a fi t over an ex-husband’s sports obsession. Now she’s a devotee of pro-grams like “Downton Ab-bey,” ‘‘Mad Men,” ‘‘Survi-vor” and “Masters of Sex.”
The teacher from Santa Cruz, California, illus-trates a subtle change in society’s attitude toward television. The medium is growing in stature, propelled by both art and technology. More worthy programs are available at a time when viewers are becoming more comfort-able setting up their own schedules to watch.
“I feel it’s more like reading a good book,” Stokes said. “The acting is better, the direction is better. I think it’s more serious as an art form.”
A CBS survey of 700
people in the U.S. with In-ternet and television con-nections last year found that 28 percent said they’re watching more television than they did a year ago. Seventeen per-cent say they’re watching less, with the remainder indicating their habits are unchanged.
That may not seem like much, but there’s a long history of people saying they are watching, or plan to watch, less TV — even as Nielsen measurements proved the opposite is true.
In other words, liking television is becoming more socially acceptable.
“You can go to a so-phisticated party in New York City now and peo-ple will be talking about television programming, not the latest art fi lm or the latest play,” said Da-vid Poltrack, CBS’ vet-eran chief researcher. “You can go to a bar in
a lower socio-econom-ic neighborhood and they’ll be talking about television. They may be talking about different programs, but they’ll be talking about television.”
Now, for every award-winning drama there’s a series about botched plastic surgeries, naked dating or Kardashians. More than one, truthfully. But the push among cable networks during the past decade to make their own original series has sig-nifi cantly increased the amount of quality pro-grams.
For years, polls uncov-ered a certain shameful attitude toward watching television.
When asked in 2000 how much time they spent watching TV the previous day, 84 percent of respondents told the Pew Research Center it was less than four hours. That didn’t jibe with
the Nielsen company’s fi nding that the aver-age American that year watched four hours, 15 minutes of television a day.
A Gallup poll in 1990 found 49 percent of peo-ple said they spent too much time watching tele-vision. Only 19 percent said they watched too lit-tle. Nine years ago when CBS began its annual survey, more people said they were cutting back on TV time.
This year, Nielsen esti-mates the average Ameri-can watches four hours, 50 minutes of TV a day.
“I think the quality is better,” said Yael Chanoff, a 25-year-old writer from San Francisco. She’s a fan of smart comedies like NBC’s “Parks & Recre-ation.” Many older shows Chanoff has seen, even hits like “Friends,” strike her as cliche-ridden.
Some better shows now
have an attention to detail that reminds Stokes, who is 59, of work done by the MGM movie studio dur-ing the last century.
Cory Phare, a 33-year-old academic conference director from Denver, said he grew up watch-ing a lot of television but drifted away. The ability to binge on well-written dramas like “Breaking Bad,” ‘‘The Americans” and “Dexter” through Netfl ix drew him back in. He just fi nished going back to watch the entire run of “The West Wing.”
“Even when I’m on a lunch break, I pull it up on my smartphone,” he said.
That’s another key to television’s resurgence. Viewers no longer depend on prime-time sched-ules set up in Hollywood boardrooms; they don’t even have to depend on television. Stokes, Cha-noff and Phare all con-
sider themselves fans of modern-day TV, and none of them have cable or satellite subscriptions.
“My friends all watch it on computer,” Chanoff said. She fi nds a friend with cable to watch “Parks & Recreation,” the only show she cares to watch live.
The days of needing to choose between two good programs airing at the same time are now gone. The downside for net-works is that it’s harder for less-established shows to catch on because some nights more people are watching DVR playbacks than any individual show on a network.
That’s a problem for an-other day. The fi rst prior-ity is getting people inter-ested in what television has to offer.
“Really, television is now more than ever at the center of culture,” Pol-track said.
Cultural changes sway attitudes toward TVBY DAVID BAUDER
AP Television Writer
In the documentary of his record-breaking deep-sea dive, “Deepsea Challenge 3D,” James Cameron asks, “Am I a fi lmmaker who does ex-ploration work on the side, or am I an explorer who does fi lming on the side?”
It’s a good question. It’s now been fi ve years since Cameron’s last fea-ture fi lm (a little indepen-dent movie called “Ava-tar”), and in that time, the priorities of the most bankable director in Hol-lywood have sometimes been as murky as the deep sea. He has spent those years producing a fl eet of documentaries about ocean exploration and deep-water life forms. His biggest project hasn’t been a mega blockbuster but building a deep-div-ing sub and piloting it more than 35,000 feet down into the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.
“I make the Hollywood movies to pay for the ex-ploration,” Cameron said in a recent phone inter-view from California.
Certainly, many movie-goers are eager for Cam-eron to get back on a fi lm set. After some earlier postponements, he’s on his way, currently fi nish-ing the scripts and design work for three planned “Avatar” sequels.
But for now, on Friday, he’s releasing in theaters a 3-D fi lm for National Geographic that chron-icles his 2012 dive into another alien world, “the last great frontier,” as he calls the ocean. For Cam-eron, the movie is a testa-ment to the spirit of ex-ploration, which he feels is fl agging in America.
Cameron’s dive, nearly seven miles deep, was only the second manned-dive to reach the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest known point of the seabed. Some 68 new species were identi-fi ed from the sub, which was equipped with 3-D cameras.
“I think explorers feel a sense of the sacred,” said Cameron of descending into such a remote abyss. “Something that’s beyond themselves, when they go to a place that’s never been witnessed before and bare witness for the fi rst time.”
“Deepsea” co-director John Bruno had to cap-ture it all in stormy con-ditions and while coordi-nating 3-D cameras that each took two men to op-erate.
“The ocean hasn’t read the script, so it’s not going to cooperate,” says Cam-eron. “And the sub is a bit like a diva movie actress. You’re not always going to get it on camera when you want it.”
The similarities of lead-ing an expedition team and a feature fi lm crew are, to Cameron, identi-cal. Ever the taskmaster, the documentary shows him prodding his scien-tists on their time tables. In Cameron’s day job, the interaction would be the same.
Speaking of time tables, there is the pace of work on the “Avatar” fi lms, which are scheduled for release in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Though Cameron earlier said the screen-plays (which he’s writing with Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver and Shane Salerno) would be fi nished by the end of the spring, they’re still being completed.
“It’s going to be another couple months, I would say, at least,” said Cam-eron. “We will serve no wine before it’s time, and I would be pretty stupid to run off and start shooting ‘Avatar’ until the scripts are perfect. Whether that compromises our announced release date of Christmas ‘16, at this point I can’t really say until we break down the budget and schedule.”
Cameron said he’s working seven days a week on “Avatar” as the pages “pour in,” but with one exception. He’s tak-ing an upcoming vacation to Tahiti for — what else? — a little scuba diving.
While ‘Avatar’ sequel waits, Cameron dives into an abyss
The Associated Press
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — After his 6-year-old daughter was killed in the Newtown school shoot-ing, Jimmy Greene found a homemade book on her desk titled “Ana’s fl ower book for Dad.” The book was fi lled with page after page of beautifully drawn fl owers in different colors and shapes.
“It’s a brutal reminder of what I lost,” Greene said. “There’s very few people I think in life who love you unconditionally. She was one of them. We lost her.”
While the world knows how Ana Grace Marquez-Greene died, Greene wants the public to know how his daughter lived. Greene, an internation-ally renowned jazz saxo-phonist, composer and bandleader, is preparing an album called “Beauti-ful Life,” inspired by and dedicated to his daughter, which he hopes to release
before the end of the year. He likely will play a few songs from it on Sunday at the Litchfi eld Jazz Fes-tival in Goshen.
“She had qualities in her that were very well be-yond her years,” Greene said. “She would sort of sense when somebody needed a word of encour-agement or a hug or a lit-tle piece of kindness. She would do it without be-ing prompted or without someone asking for it.”
Ana was known to leave notes, such as one telling her parents to look under their pillow. That led to another note reading: “I love you Mom and Dad.”
Ana liked to sing and dance, and her father’s new record will include her singing the hymn “Come Thou Almighty King” while her brother plays on the piano months before she was killed. Her classmates from Canada, where the family lived for a few years, also sing, and Greene sings about his hope to one day join her
in heaven.That faith that Ana is in
heaven is what sustains Greene and his wife, Nel-ba Marquez-Greene.
“That is pretty much the only thing that gives us peace and any sort of com-fort at all,” Greene said.
Proceeds will go toward the Ana Grace Project, which works to prevent violence, and The Artists Collective, which exposes children to the arts and, Greene says, played a key role in his career.
Greene said his new album has less emphasis on pushing the envelope musically or technically on the saxophone and is more about the lyrics and conveying emotion.
He said his daughter’s death made him realize that life is precious and fl eeting.
“I know I’m forever changed as a person,” Greene said. “I don’t re-member what normal feels like. I don’t even know if there is a normal anymore.”
